 8        Sec. 13-501.  Tariff; filing.
 9        (a)  No telecommunications carrier shall offer or provide
10    telecommunications service unless and until a tariff is filed
11    with the Commerce Commission which describes  the  nature  of
12    the  service,  applicable  rates and other charges, terms and
13    conditions of service, and the exchange, exchanges  or  other
14    geographical  area  or   areas  in which the service shall be

21    When a tariff is imposed as part of the order in a case,  the
22    tariff  shall  remain  in  full  force  and  effect  until  a

24    telecommunications carrier and, after notice to  the  parties
25    in  the case and after a compliance hearing is held, is found
